121. Looking at the last several Secretaries of states, they all polled above their Presidents

In early 2004, Powell had a 67% approval rate far above George Bush's - even after lying to the UN. http://pollingreport.com/p.htm#Powell (Bush was in the low 50s then)

Condoleezza Rice was in the 40s in 2008, when Bush was in the 20s. http://pollingreport.com/r.htm#Rice

Going back further, Madeline Albright did better than Bill Clinton. ( more than it looks at first glance as you have to adjust for the don't knows.) http://pollingreport.com/A-B.htm#Albright
